Abstract
Protein O-GlcNAcylation plays a crucial role in Drosophila melanogaster development. Dysregulation of O-GlcNAc transferase (sxc/Ogt) and O-GlcNAcase (Oga) disrupts early embryogenesis and locomotor behavior. It is therefore of great interest to identify and quantitatively analyze O-GlcNAcylation sites in Drosophila. Here, we perform quantitative and site-specific profiling of O-GlcNAcylation in Drosophila by employing a chemoenzymatic labeling strategy. A total of 2196 unambiguous O-GlcNAcylation sites and 1308 O-GlcNAcylated proteins are identified. Quantitative analysis of O-GlcNAcylation in the head of Drosophila with sxc/Ogt knockdown in GABAergic neurons reveals a reduction in O-GlcNAcylation of several proteins involved in muscle development, consistent with the phenotypic defects observed in sxc/Ogt RNAi Drosophila. Furthermore, quantitative analysis of O-GlcNAcylation under a high-sugar diet reveals altered O-GlcNAcylation of several proteins associated with obesity and neurological diseases, such as Hex-A and Ankyrin 2. Our study not only establishes an effective method for large-scale identification of O-GlcNAcylation sites, but also provides a valuable resource for studying O-GlcNAc biology in Drosophila.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry provides an international forum for the publication of full original research papers and critical reviews on molecular interactions in key biological targets such as receptors, channels, enzymes, nucleotides, lipids and saccharides.
The aim of the journal is to promote a better understanding at the molecular level of life processes, and living organisms, as well as the interaction of these with chemical agents. A special feature will be that colour illustrations will be reproduced at no charge to the author, provided that the Editor agrees that colour is essential to the information content of the illustration in question.
